Re: [GD-General] Variables scope

[<ke...@ac...>]

In 7.0 and up you can change the behaviour of for loops without affecting
the other "extensions", there is a separate setting for it.

It's not anonymous unions that are disabled with language extensions off
though, but anonymous structs. Anonymous unions is valid ANSI C, I'm pret=
ty
sure.
